You might also try standing up an http to https proxy. There are some proxies setup specifically for retro computers like
https://protoweb.org/get-started/ https://github.com/DrKylstein/retro-proxy https://youtu.be/-Qs3LVPmLgk https://protoweb.org/wiki/servers/ http://www.steptail.com/retroweb:servers curl let’s you specify a proxy server with “-x” and a “username:password” (some proxies require this) with “-U”. Examine curl’s arguments with “-h”. Don’t do anything that requires security (banking, personal info, connecting to work) if you decide to use a 3rd party proxy. All of these proxies can potentially see your credentials and sensitive information. It would be best to stand up your own proxy if your technically capable of doing so.
